BIOGRAPHY

Mary C. McCall, Jr. was a pioneering screenwriter whose career spanned several decades, leaving an indelible mark on Hollywood. Born in 1904, McCall first gained recognition with her screenplay for *Scarlet Dawn* (1932), adapted from her own novel. She later became celebrated for her contributions to classic films like *A Midsummer Night's Dream* (1935), featuring a memorable performance by James Cagney as Puck, and *The Fighting Sullivans* (1944), a poignant tale that resonated deeply during wartime. One of her most collectible works, *Reward Unlimited* (1944), showcases her deft storytelling and is sought after by collectors for its historical significance and McCall's unique voice in post-war cinema. A trailblazer for women in screenwriting, McCall was the first female president of the Writers Guild of America, advocating for writers' rights and creative freedom. Her influence extended into television, with credits on popular series such as *I Dream of Jeannie* and *Gilligan's Island*. As a recipient of multiple awards, including the Writers Guild's Valentine Davies Award, her legacy continues to inspire collectors who appreciate the rich history of film and the contributions of women in the industry.
